The problem is that the ways you choose to "oppose Trump" frequently tend to have the effect of increasing the support he has by making others want to oppose you rather than join you.
Not surprising you choose to ignore the original post and it's message and content and instead try to pick a fight with (I'm sorry - 'debate') with a poster about what they posted. In answer to your comment - anyone forming political opinions and decisions about who to vote for based on Daman's Dawgtalker's posts probably needs to get outside a bit more and find some better sources - assuming there even is such an individual.
I didn't see anything worth instantly fighting about in the original post. I didn't immediately read the initial post the second it was submitted. While I was still considering the post, I continued to read the other posts that were already in the thread. Daman's post added nothing substantive to the thread and made a disparaging remark to a poster new to the boards. That seemed like a lousy approach to discussion, and personally, I'd rather not run off new blood on the boards because what we've had on the boards from the old guard "recently" (and not so recently) has gotten rather pathetic.
Be a dick to someone new and I'll call it out.
If you disagree with something said in the post, spell it out. Don't attack the person, particularly if you only recently encountered them.
It's not just about Daman specifically. It's about the behavior of a large number of supporters of both major parties. They treat each other horribly which only widens the divide instead of actually trying to find common ground which might lead to better "compromise" candidates. As it is, we get lousy candidates because they spend too much time attacking the other guys' candidate, and each other, instead of giving their own guy a long, hard, honest look.
